Gold Frame Six-Door Glass Run
A six-leaf glass run in a gold frame, where the metal is the decoration and the bottles are the contents rather than the other way round.
What the photographs show
A long glazed run in a warm gold metal, six leaves with even reveals, and the bottles behind lit from above each shelf. The frame is the feature; the glass is clear so nothing competes with it.
What the build had to solve
A gold frame shows every imperfection in a joint, so the run is built and finished as one assembly before the glass goes in. The leaves are cut as a set of six, the reveal is set to 3 mm across the whole run, and the finish is a plated or anodised surface rather than a paint, so it does not wear through at the handle.
What to copy, and what to avoid
Worth copying: finishing the frame before glass. Worth avoiding: painted gold on a handle-heavy run — the edges go first.

What clients ask about a room like this one
Does gold wear off?
A plated or anodised surface does not wear through the way paint does, which matters on a run this size. Painted gold is only used where a specific colour is being matched.
Can it be brushed rather than polished?
Yes. A brushed gold reads softer in a room and shows fewer fingerprints, which on six leaves is worth considering.
